Method Details
- getSslCapableHttpClient
  
  public static org.apache.http.client.HttpClient getSslCapableHttpClient()
  
  Creates an HttpClient pre-configured to pass requests over HTTPS. This is a 'no security' client, so while the data will be encrypted, it would be easy for a malicious user to fool calling apps into believing they are contacting one server when in fact their requests are being intercepted. On the plus side, the client will support unsigned certificates without even blinking.
  
  Returns:
  
  SSL-ready HttpClient
